Bhagavad-gita As It Is (3.9)
Translation
Work done as a sacrifice for Visnu has to be performed; otherwise work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform your prescribed duites for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain free from bondage.
Purport
Yajna means Lord Visnu, or sacrificial performances.
The Vedas enjoin: yajno vai visnuh. In other words, the same purpose is served whether one performs prescribed yajnas or directly serves Lord Visnu. Krsna consciousness is therefore performance of yajna as it is prescribed in this verse. The varnasrama institution also aims at satisfying Lord Visnu. Varnasramacaravata purusena parah pumaan/ visnur aradhyate (Visnu Purana 3.8.8).
Therefore one has to work for the satisfaction of Visnu. Any other work done in this material world will be a cause of bondage, for both good and evil have their reactions, and any reaction binds the performer. Therefore, one has to work in Krsna consciousness to satisfy Krsna (or Visnu); and while performing such activities one is in a liberated stage. This is the great art of doing work. One should therefore act very diligently, under the expert guidance of a devotee of Lord Krsna, or under direct instruction of Lord Krsna Himself (under whom Arjuna had the opportunityto work). Nothing should be performed for sense gratification, but everything should be done for the satisfaction of Krsna. This practise will not only save one from the reaction of work, but also gradually elevate one to transcendental loving service of the Lord, which alone can raise one to the kingdom of God.

Hare Krishna,
Lord is not control freak BTW!.
Lord loves you more than you know. If you sacrifice your work for the pleasure of Krishna/Vishnu then only YOU ARE HAPPY.
Lord Vishnu is occupying the entire universe and He is endless and Lord is having a Virat swaroopa isn't it? you know it you read about it that Lord shows Virat swaropa to Arjuna in the battle field.
Where are you in that whole Virat swaroopa? You are part and parcel of Sri Krishna isn't it?
How can a part of Lord act independently of Lord?
Just like your finger is there.
How can you move your finger???
only if you get orders from the brain that you will be able to move the finger isn't it?
but what happens is the finger is thinking that he is different from the brain and starts to act independently of BRAIN? Will it be happy? no it is a diseased finger now.
HOW?
finger is thinking it is independent of brain .. finger starts to think why I must listen to that brain? Brain is acting like control freak. Brain gives orders it seems and I must move.
I wont move.. I will move when ever I want to move.( that means.. it is diseased) you need to show to doctor that my finger is moving on its own. I cannot control it.
That is our position.
We are part of Sri Krishna and thinking why we must offer our work to make Lord Vishnu happy?
actually if you offer your work to Krishna/ Vishnu then you are at peace ( just like the finger will listen to the directions of the brain and it is not diseased anymore).
So we must do all works for the pleasure of Krishna/ Vishnu.
But instead we are using all our senses for the pleasure of ourselves. we are feeling we are seperate from Krishna and enjoying own self that is why we are in diseased condition and suffering in this mateiral world.
Hare Krishna
